Adult forums set at First Congregational

The adult forums continue at 9:15 a.m. Sundays in the Felix building at First Congregational United Church of Christ, 1735 Fifth Ave. W.

The August schedule is as follows:

◆ Sunday and Aug.

11: Melissa Melum will be facilitating sessions on the book “Cooler Smarter,” written by a group from the Union of Concerned Scientists, an organization advocating sound, science-based environmental policy.

For this book, UCS staff did a thorough study of the global warming impact of a range of consumer choices and behaviors, sorting through what choices really have an impact and what isn’t as important.

◆ Aug. 18: Sister Kathleen Terlau will discuss “Who Are Catholic Nuns?” The speaker is a member of the Sisters for Christian Community. She has spent the past 61 years ministering as a teacher, social worker and (she hopes) a friend.

She is now retired and lives in Hendersonville.

◆ Aug. 25: Helene Cohen, a licensed speech pathologist, for the past 26 years has held clinical and administrative positions in rehabilitation services, serving both children and adults. Her topic is “Mindfulness, Aging and the Brain.” She will present evidence-based risks and protective factors for dementia, provide a brief overview of a brain-healthy lifestyle in which spirituality is one component, identify the relationship between attention and memory,

propose mindfulness as a method to facilitate attention skills, discuss brain research related to meditation and mindfulness, and demonstrate a brief mindful meditation.

The sessions are free.
